[QUOTE="madman, post: 91916, member: 13851"] Keywords here are [B][I]" I exercise almost everyday and take caffeine and stimulants before my workouts" and "my symptoms seem like they worse after a hard and long weight lifting session"?[/I][/B] I would say you are definitely overtraining which can cause excess physiological stress due to overworking the muscles without adequate recovery (lack of rest days/too long training sessions/ poor diet). Your T fluctuations may be so drastic due to overtraining/lack of recovery. T should be at its highest concentrations early in the am and will fluctuate throughout the day and reach its lowest concentrations during the evening hours. It has been shown in studies that there is a 20-30% decrease in t during the late afternoon/evening in young healthy males. If you are lifting weights training heavy and hard I would say no more than 4 days/week maximum and adding in cardio on rest days can also hinder recovery if it is overdone. Try to keep your weight training sessions 45 min-1 hr and make sure your diet is in check and you are getting adequate sleep which is critical to recovery physically/mentally. Excess cortisol caused by (lack of sleep/poor diet/excess stress whether physical or mental) can definitely hinder recovery and cause wild fluctuations in testosterone levels. [/QUOTE]
